A KILLER

- memo -

It was 2 years ago that Mayumi encouraged me to have a meal there first. And I'm still addicted to carbonara with spinach and bacon of SPIGA. Whenever comin' to Iidabashi, I go to eat it there. And I'm touched by mouth-filling【口の中で広がる】 pasta everytime. Happiness is here......._ _b

Since when haven't I had a time with Nacho? I used to drop by a bar to drink Corona & snack on【をつまむ】 Nacho whenever I hung out on the street in U.S. Since I came back to Utsunomiya, I had never had a time in such a way. There's no street here that makes me excited in the 1st place【そもそも】 although I might get yelled at by【に怒られる】 Uji-Koji. While walking at Harajuku, I felt like dropping by a bar. It was Harajuku things to make me feel so. People ahead of FOREVER21 in a queue【kju:，列になって】 next to H&M, fancy【洒落た, chic】 street shops and some moods..., it was the 1st time in months【何ヶ月振りか】 that I was packed in the atmosphere of【の雰囲気に包まれる】 enegy of such things.

Surprised to learn that【を知って驚いた】 the capsule rooms of AKI HOUSE had changed to home of former temporary workers who were laid off due to the recession【不況のあおりを受けて】. It seemed that Kikuchi-san, the manager of AKI HOUSE, promoted【売り込みに行った】 the capsules because the most of them were empty. I mean, AKI HOUSE is still a guest house, but was no longer what used to be【面影がなくなっていた】. Below are new residents.
・ Akemi-san・・・She doesn't look her age 50. Instead【むしろ（Rather）】, she looks like a model.
・ Takano-san・・・Former buckwheat noodle chef. Gentle.
・ K-san・・・A bassist. He has ever played at Budokan as a member of Loughin' Nose.
・ Sandwichman・・・DEcent【まとも】. He looks to have leeway【余裕がある】.
etc...
Tsucchi was as ever. Nami, sleeping beauty, was probably sleeping. Toshi & Miyasako-san came over, and Mayumi did as well. Chiaki-san, a former Gamo Guest House manager, is livin' in AKI HOUSE, but not a capsule side.





At the midnight, Pakistan Lam hardly came back when he went up the ladder to his capsule, and the next moment, his automatic behavior showed L－character by using his total body. He was sleeping on the ladder actually. That was a miracle.

Terrible. That's what I felt. AKT-san, guitarist, gave us CD including the songs we played at the 7th session. It was the time when YMGC-san, lead singer, told us that he can't join Miya Street Gig, but even so (I was so low-motivated), terrible. About my drumming, cymbal is too weak. And... many things. After this day, I bought a portable recorder of KENWOOD at Akihabara. I will use this on my individual practice & band sesssion from now. It cost about 30,000 yen, but I don't know why beer & salad looks more shiny in the pic.

Most of things are upgraded to a new version. That's called "evolution". Some years passed since CATIA was upgraded to V5, but I hadn't used it because BOEING 777 FREIGHTER was designed with CATIA V4. There're many differences between V4 & V5 as if it's not a simple upgraded version. That's why V5 is kind of troublesome for engineers. (But, it would be more useful than V4 for new engineers.) So, I had to take this training course for 3 months with Chiba-san. Our theacher was Kawamata-san. He was a so funny guy. We could get basic skill joyfully, I think. Thanks. (However, I will not use this version mostly until I'm assigned to BOEING 787 project. I wonder when.)

YMGC-san told us that he has to go to Osaka on business trip for a couple of months. So, we had to give up Miya Street Gig unfortunately. I suggested to look for a part-time vocalist for the gig. Although I was inclined to ask Brooke, TKHR-san, a band master, didn't look to have mind to look for a substitute. Instead, He asked AKT-san to check up on another gig after June. That's how my first live as a drummer of PRESENCE was postponed. Keep motivation.

Loneliness comes all of a sudden. It's a kind of reaction of emotion to yesterday's happy wedding, I guess. Nobody would like lonely emotion, but it comes all the way to tell me something in one cycle. It knocks me and opens the door without permission from me. Can't help it.

I hung out at Akihabara and bought an ultra mobile PC of Lenovo, an external CD device, USB memory, i-pod classic, Dream Theater's music CD and a headphone. Then I moved to Ueno and bought a bag, a money bag and a necklace. They're cheap ones, but I think I could do good shopping. And, I remembered on the train home that I've online ordered 3 CDs of Southern All Stars a couple of days ago. (Because I remembered Tomomi likes them and became to want to listen again.)

I haven't bought heaps of things at one time like this since......since when?

I can buy stuff, but there're some things that I cannot buy as a matter of course. Likewise I can sell stuff, but there're some things that I cannot sell. I carry more things in many senses as I grow up.

Jakob : No. It's between engineering & anthropology..., hard to explain.

Brooke : Don't ask me.

Saito-san : City development is in it, and.....

Finally, we fixed how to end this song "YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME", and also the order of 6 songs.

1. LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
2. BORN TO BE MY BABY
3. YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME
4. ALWAYS
5. RUNAWAY
6. BAD MEDECINE

Today, AKT-san changed his effecters so that his guitar sounded sharper. It was so good. My drum sound seems to be more powerful than before, said YMGC-san. I think it's because of new sticks. I've changed them to heavier ones written "AMERICAN CLASSIC ROCK". And I became to use the rim of the snare at the place where I want accent. That's why. We dicided to practice 2 times a month from now on. Of course, it's for MIYA GIG on May 30th.

6th song "Born To Be My Baby" was tried out, but it's far from completion. It seemed that we played as a break-in today. Takehara-san got the application for MIYA STREET GIG and filled in our details. It is scheduled to be held on May 30th and 31st. Anybody else joins? How about Brooke's band?
